My actionBar does not appear

I have been having trouble with my action bars, I got it set up on my xml front end like this:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar4"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    android:label="@string/dadosCadastrais"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:theme="?attr/actionBarTheme" />

And on the Java activity: 

Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar4);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);

I have already tried changing the theme the app uses, the theme the layout uses and even the activities theme to allow/forbid a toolbar to show up. Even though my java class extends AppCompatActivity it does not show!

PS: Got it working now! The problem was the setup on java code itself, there was an hidden method which was overwritting my setup, thx for the help!

Make sure your activity inflates the correct layout containing your ToolBar.

protected void setContentView() {
    setContentView(R.layout.your_activity_layout);
}

Your activity layout should contain your ToolBar. Here is a code example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:keepScreenOn="true"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar" />

    <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/frameLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"></FrameLayout>

</LinearLayout>
